Mission 11:
Operation: Fallout; Florida Keys

Einstein has found the perfect place for his chronosphere. Unfortunately, the location is very close to Soviet-controlled Cuba. Build a chronosphere and clear the area of Soviet nuclear missiles. We are nearly ready for our final attack on Moscow.

  • Objective 1: Build a chronosphere.
  • Objective 2: Neutralize the Soviet nuclear threat on Cuba.

This is an extremely difficult mission and certainly the toughest you have faced thus far. You receive constant pressure from Soviet forces from the north and the south. Furthermore, you have the threat of a nuclear launch looming over your head. All this and you must build the chronosphere and defend it against Soviet attack. It's a lot to deal with at once!

As soon as the mission begins, a Soviet squid attacks a civilian ship. These specially trained squids latch themselves onto Allied ships and eventually sink them. You must use Allied trained dolphins to combat the squids, then use the dolphins' or destroyers' air units to finish off the squids. As soon as you gain control, group your naval units together and destroy the squid that's pummeling the ocean liner.

You possess three refineries. One lies inside your base, but the other two are outside your base, one over a bridge to the north and a second over a bridge to the south. The Soviets put significant pressure on these refineries. Though you can beat the mission without protecting these refineries, you should make every effort to keep these refineries active and generating income. The more money you possess, the easier it will be to produce defensive units and offensive naval ships and to replace buildings destroyed in a nuclear attack.

When you gain control, build four Navy SEALs at the barracks. Take your current GIs and order them to garrison the buildings along the eastern beach, because the Soviets are about to drop conscripts there and garrison those buildings. Doing so in advance saves you from a major hassle. Start producing GIs after the Navy SEALs are done. Build a few pillboxes and place one next to the northern and southern refineries. The southern refinery will be attacked first, so work quickly. Move one Navy SEAL and a squad of GIs down to it. Using a Navy SEAL here is important because the SEAL can eliminate conscripts and tesla troopers quickly, leaving only the Soviet tanks, which fall easily to the GI group and the pillbox. You may also consider some extra prism towers as income permits. Once you produce more GIs, send a squad and one Navy SEAL to the northern refinery.

Use harrier jets and aircraft carriers to destroy the nuclear silos.

Start bolstering your navy with additional destroyers. You're about to be attacked by the Soviet navy along the southern beach. The Soviets use dreadnoughts, which launch powerful missiles that can decimate your base structures. Position your remaining two SEALs near the shore so they can intercept the dreadnoughts and detonate them easily. Usher your destroyers and dolphins over to this southern beach to intercept the attack. Watch out for subs and squids; use dolphins to keep squids away from friendly ships, and use the destroyers' air units to eliminate the subs.

Getting to these dreadnoughts early is extremely important. It doesn't take long to lose a war factory or a construction yard. Use the Navy SEALs and usher your navy over quickly to intercept the attack.
